    Cummins 5.0L V8 - Thoughts from the diesel swap gurus

    I ran into a guy at Skagit Powdercoating that had a 2.8l Cummins in his and he was very happy with it. Looks like Cummins is doing a crate motor for just this purpose...Introducing Cummins’ Crate Engine Program: Cummins Repower™ hopefully it will be cheaper than Bank's crate motor 13110 Engine...

    Anyone know where to get ABS/HPDE sheet in the Seattle area? I tried to source it online but shipping is steep!

    fj60 transfer case coming out of 4 wheel high

    I had the same problem, it turned out to be the inner shifter boot. It was hardened from old age. I made a couple cuts to allow the shifter to move freely again and no more problems

    New guy with a 305 FJ60

    I'm kindof in the same boat, I bought a 62 with a carbed 350/700r4/splitcase. A 5.7 Vortec will bolt into your engine mounts and exhaust, LS series vortecs will require moving engine mounts and exhaust a little. What I personally have decided on is a TPI setup. It is mpfi, cheap, bolts right...

    V8 w carb on fj62?

    I have that setup. I'm getting 9-12mpg with a torque converter that isn't locking and probably costing me a mpg or two. 4.10s and 31" tires. I like it okay...I have a TPI setup in the garage that will go on eventually.

    Best place for Carb re-build on Long Island?

    Jim doesn't just rebuild your carb, he rebuilds and tunes it to your engine configuration and driving style...so he has that going for him, which is nice

    Q: Will a 62 series front bumper bolt up to a 60?

    It's not a direct fit but it can work. The 62 bumper is a little taller so you either need to use the bumper brackets from the 62 or make some spacers to make up the difference

    Can you powdercoat over poawdercoat?

    The powder is applied electrostatically, so it needs to be bare metal

    what should i get my saginaw from??

    I used a Man-a-fre pulley and a Man-fre mounting bracket. This pulley requires a pump with a keyed pump shaft, mine is from a 1969 Chevrolet C10. The metric threads of the Cruiser screwed right into the Chevy pump. This is a more expensive route but I am happy with the result.

    Good deal on Optima batteries at Pep Boys

    I recently returned a bad optima to Costco. The employee at the desk informed me that due to the high failure rate in recent years Costco no longer carries Optima batteries.

    Carb- rebuild, weber, Trollhole or other

    Having your carb reworked by Jim C is like adding fuel injection.

    HJ60 vs 22RE 4Runner

    The landcruiser is only 7 1/2" longer, 2.9" taller (stock for stock), and 4 1/2" wider than the 4runner. I doubt the r4unner has any breakover/departure/aproach advantages. You only need a 2 1/2" lift to fit 33" tires, some guys even fit them without a lift at all. Garages and ferries are not...
